I’ve always had an addiction to sharing news and information, which is why I made that field my career and part of why I write this blog. After a decade of reading, writing, or relaying countless violent stories, I have thick mental skin, but tonight I read something that made me get my sleeping baby out of his crib and rock him, then I sat in the bathtub and wept, wondering if there is a compassionate God- yes, I have doubting days. I saw this story on the AP wire tonight,

When you have children it’s amazing how much such stories resonate. My husband reminded me there’s nothing I can do, that it's not my problem and that things like that happen every day- yes they do and where is God I wonder? I guess somehow it makes me feel better if people know about the ugly things in life because my hope in sharing such stories is that one day we'll be able to do something about it. I know that tomorrow when I wake up and look into my baby's blue, blue eyes, I'll again believe in a something greater than myself.

Oh...That was just horrible. We no longer live out that way, or we would surely be hearing even more about it than anyone needs to. It's so sad and so wrong. I'm glad the officer shot him and I hope his discipline ends at paid administrative leave.
Stories out there in California tend to carry on and on and on and we'd get details of stories that just shouldn't have been shared. Like, the whole Lacey Peterson thing.
Having lived through some pretty scary things myself I have a very keen sense that God IS and that everything happens for a reason. Even horrible things...and now that baby is in Heavenly Father's arms, loved and protected in a way that he obviously never was here on earth.
That story is horrible. It is things like that that make a part of me believe very strongly in FORCED sterilization of certain people.
I wish he would have had a good beating himself before he got shot but I'm glad he's dead. Is that horrible?
